Ian Puleston-Davies: Chief Constable Wilson

Quotes 

• Chief Constable Wilson : Douglas Drakefield, arrested in 2005 for flashing, but he's got a good lawyer, so no conviction. Kiddie porn on the hard drive, April 2006. Again, no conviction. November 2006, assault on a minor. He gets two years, serves eighteen months. And then this afternoon we find him parked outside a primary school with a length of rope in the boot of his car.

  Mitchell : And this involves me how, exactly?

  Chief Constable Wilson : Well, it's time for affirmative action. I want this animal sent kicking and screaming to Hell, and you're the man to do it; so, get in there, vamp up, vamp out - whatever it is you do - and rip this fucker to shreds.

• Chief Constable Wilson : You're like a dog that's been switched to a diet of dried food. You're losing all your shine. You see, there is a natural order to all things, and you're upsetting it. We've barely started. I've got dozens of names and you've got dozens of soldiers, and eventually someone will fall, and then another, and then another, and then we'll be back to our beautiful bloody chaos. This abstinence, this sudden morality - that's not who you are.

  Mitchell : All right.

  Chief Constable Wilson : Good lad. Now, go back and put that animal to sleep.

• Mitchell : I told you, I'm not a killer. None of us are killers now.

  Chief Constable Wilson : Sure you are. You're just goin' through a rough patch, that's all. You'll come good again.
